Costing Framework

The following framework should be used to help you when planning your matrix assessment. The total fees include the full assessment and the annual Continuous Improvement Checks carried out 12 and 24 months following a successful assessment outcome. If you would like to ‘opt’ for a ‘Full Report’ please let your Assessor know before your onsite assessment.

All bookings received from 24th July 2017 will be based on the costings below, which are based on the number of people involved in the delivery of your organisation’s information, advice and guidance service. Please contact our Customer Service Team to get a more tailored costing for your organisation’s assessment – including, for a review assessment, the impact of having a Full Report – call 020 3880 5059 or email matrix@assessmentservices.com

Planning Guidance – Things to Think About

It is often not until the Assessor has had an in-depth conversation with your organisation that a full understanding of all the factors which can affect the costs of an assessment can be ascertained.

If, during the initial planning discussions with your Assessor, it becomes clear that your organisation and your information, advice and guidance service is more complex than originally identified, (for example has multiple services that are to be included in the assessment and / or has a large geographical spread etc.), the Assessor can recommend to Assessment Services what additional time will be required to fulfil a robust assessment (over and above that suggested by the framework above).

The following expenses can be charged by an Assessor. Please note your Assessor will use the information to work out their expenses and will provide you with an overall figure which will be added to the cost of your assessment.

Zone 1 – England & Wales – Capped at £100 per day and may include:

Standard rail travel/public transport

Mileage at 45p per mile up to 10,000 miles each financial year (then at 25p per mile above 10,000 miles)

Oyster card up to £20 per on-site day

Hotel / bed and breakfast costs (please note, these costs cannot be charged for the night before or on the last day of an Assessment, unless in exceptional circumstances which must be agreed in advance with Assessment Services Ltd)

Zone 2 – Scotland / Northern Ireland:Actual cost of travel i.e. economy flights and accommodation costs at a maximum of £80 per night can be claimed.

Please note that taxi fares will not automatically be reimbursed, but may be when they, together with public transport costs are less than would be incurred if the client is charged 0.45p per mile. The purchase of meals and car parking charges will not be reimbursed.
